MapInfo delivers OGC compliance

U.S. based MapInfo Corporation, the provider of Location Intelligence solutions, yesterday announced that its MapXtreme family of products has been certified as fully compliant with the Open Geospatial Consortium’s (OGC) OpenGIS(R) WMS Specifications. Being fully OpenGIS compliant allows users to share and reuse data, improve the quality of information, and reduce the need to rely on one vendor.

The MapXtreme location-based technology, which is available for both the Java(TM) and Microsoft .NET platforms, enables users to develop or enhance custom mapping applications and business intelligence solutions that can be deployed both on the desktop and the Web using the same core engine. Now that MapXtreme is fully OpenGIS WMS compliant, organizations are able to easily share and distribute location-based data regardless of software used.
